This 2026 FSU football recruiting class could have been ELITE if Mike Norvell could have ridden the momentum of the 3-0 start after defeating Alabama in the season-opener.
However, the allure of returning FSU to elite status slowly evaporated as the Noles dropped four consecutive games and ultimately finished 5-7, failing to make a bowl game.
FSU limped to the finish line down the stretch, losing some commits and flipping some three-stars from other bad programs like Syracuse and Kentucky. However, there were no surprise flips on Early Signing Day to garner further embrassment, so that’s a win, I suppose.
